2004 Chrysler Concorde

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHRYSLER CONCORDE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND REMAINS LIT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC AND IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE SIDE AIR BAG MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHRYSLER CONCORDE. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURS AT ANY SPEED AND, OCCASIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT RESTART. THERE ARE NO WARNING INDICATORS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AT A STEADY PACE BEFORE SHUTTING OFF. OFTENTIMES, THE VEHICLE WILL START BACK UP OR IT HAS TO REMAIN PARKED FOR 2-3 MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC SHOP, BUT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHRYSLER CONCORDE. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUT OFF. THE CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING RIGHT BEFORE THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE REMAINED OFF FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE MINUTE AND THEN WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ILLUMINATED AS WELL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 114,974 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

CAR WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND LOSE POWER. THANKFULLY I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STEER OFF OF THE ROAD EACH TIME. EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE REPLACED THE CAMSHAFT POSITIONING SENSOR AT A COST OF $250 EACH. I AM ON THE THIRD ONE. THEY SEEM TO LAST ABOUT 10 MONTHS AND THEN ARE GONE AGAIN. *TR

LINKAGE FROM STEERING COLUMN BROKE IN HALF WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH MY DAUGHTER AND HER FRIEND . THE MONTH BEFORE WE WERE COMING HOME FROM A TRIP TO SACRAMENTO ABOUT 3 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME AND THE CAM MODULE FAILED WE WERE STRANDED ON THE FREEWAY WITH TWO 13 YEAR OLD GIRLS FINALLY CAR STARTED AND WE DROVE IT TO THE DEALER THE CAR WAS ALMOST DYING OUT BUT WE GOT THERE! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. OUR 2004 CHRYSLER CONCORDE LXI HAS DEVELOPED MANY PROBLEMS OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS, I WILL TRY TO LIST THEM HERE. WE HAVE HAD MANY EVENTS OF FALSE READINGS FROM THE BRAIN OF THE CAR ACCORDING TO OUR MECHANIC. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AS DOES THE OIL AND TRANSMISSION LIGHT. THERE HAS BEEN MANY TIMES THAT THE CAR HAS JUST CUT OFF AT DIFFERENT STAGES IN DRIVING. WE HAVE BEEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, OR GOING DOWN A CITY STREET, OR DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, OR JUST COME TO A STOP LIGHT, OR JUST MAKING A TURN AFTER SLOWING DOWN. SO AS YOU CAN SEE THE SPEEDS THAT THE CAR CUTS OFF VARIES FROM 0 TO 5 AND FROM 5 TO 40 AND FROM 40 TO 70 MILES PER HOUR. THIS CAR HAS SPUTTERED, JERKED, SPEWED BLACK SMOKE, RAN SO ROUGH THAT WE THOUGHT IT WOULD SHAKE APART. WE HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SO MANY TIMES BECAUSE THE CAR CUT OFF, THAT IS IF IT WOULD MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SOMETIMES IT TAKES FROM 5 MINUTES TO 45 MINUTES BEFORE THE CAR WILL RE CRANK AGAIN. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR SERVICED REGULARLY AS IT SHOULD BE BY CERTIFIED MECHANICS. THEY HAVE PUT THE DIAGNOSTICS MACHINE ON IT SO MANY TIMES AND THE READINGS ARE ALWAYS FALSE ACCORDING TO THEM, BECAUSE IF IT WERE A TRUE READING THE CAR WOULDN'T BE RUNNING AT ALL. WE HAVE BEEN SO LUCKY THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN INJURED OR KILLED SO FAR BECAUSE OF THESE PROBLEMS. BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD SO MANY CLOSE COLLISIONS BECAUSE OF THESE PROBLEMS, I AM AFRAID FOR MY WIFE WHO HAS TO DRIVE THIS CAR TO WORK. I CAN ONLY PRAY THAT SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR GOD FORBID EVEN KILLED !!! *NM

TL* - THE CONTACT COMPLAINED ABOUT 2002 CHRYSLER CONCORD. THE CONTACT MADE A RIGHT TURN INTO TRAFFIC WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH AND LOST POWER. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITH A ODOMETER READING OF 90000, THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE NOT A FACTOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO INDICATION BEFORE THE ENGINE LOST POWER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HAS A 2004 CHRYSLER LXI WHICH SHE HAS BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS, AND WHICH THE DEALER PURCHASED IT BACKFROM HER. SHE HAD THE OIL CHANGED EVERY 2000 MILES AND THAT THE OIL WAS CLEAN. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP STATED SLUDGE WAS FOUND IN THE OIL. *AKPDATED 01/22/07. *JB

RIGHT FRONT SIDE MARKER LIGHT/TURN SIGNAL BULB BURNED OUT. CANNOT ACCESS THIS LIGHT FIXTURE TO REPLACE LIGHT BULB. DEALER STATES THIS IS A $175 JOB. NEEDS TO DISMANTLE INSIDE FENDER LINING. I ELECTED TO FOREGO THE REPLACEMENT DUE TO EXCESSIVE COST. THIS NOW CREATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION FOR ME BECAUSE WHEN CHANGING LANES TO THE RIGHT, VEHICLE THAT MAY BE IN MY BLIND SPOT WILL NOT SEE MY INTENDED TURN SIGNAL. I ATTRIBUTE THIS TO POOR DESIGN WHICH COULD CONTRIBUTE DIRECTLY TO AN ACCIDENT. *JB

CAR IS CONTINUING TO STALL. DEALER CANNOT FIND WHAT IS CAUSING. CAR STALLED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AND WAS CONSEQUENTLY HIT BY ANOTHER CAR FROM BEHIND. NO MAJOR DAMAGE DONE, AS WE WERE ONLY TRAVELING ABOUT 5 MPH. CAR SPUTTERS A LOT, STALLS A LOT, AND IS NOT SAFE FOR ME AND MY 3 SMALL CHILDREN TO DRIVE. TRIED TO TRADE IT IN BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL SAFE ANYMORE AFTER THE WRECK, BUT WILL CAUSE ME A HUGE FINANCIAL LOSS TO DO THIS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS COMPLAINT NUMBER 2 WITH NHTSA. I SEE THE PACIFICAS WERE JUST RECALLED BECAUSE OF THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM... WHEN WILL YOU LOOK INTO THE CONCORDS? *JB
